About Jennifer:
Jennifer is a motion picture survivor, confidence coach, filmmaking mentor, F1 racing fan, and author of Cosmic Bitch-Slap.

The film industry is one of the most brutal, competitive, toxic work environments known to man. While working in this unique industry, she developed a serious addiction to the mind-blowing exhilaration and the non-stop excitement that can’t block out the toxic nature of what goes on every single day.

After 20 years, Jennifer’s arms got tired of holding all that toxicity at bay and knowing she was burned out, she dropped out to pursue a radically different course resulting in an epic adventure spanning four continents and more than nine years.

Cosmic Bitch-Slap is the book Jennifer wrote about how she gradually discovered that her big bag of sharp shiny moviemaking tools could successfully be put to use in other contexts. It’s a true story that’s basically a parable about all the things we don’t know we already know and simply can’t see.

A terminally curious truthspeaker with a gift for communicating, possessed with confidence, at ease with risk, and comfortable with uncertainty, one of Jennifer’s greatest joys in life is interacting with spiritually curious beings seeking their own transformational adventure in self-discovery.
